Blazers say LaMarcus Aldridge on 'road to recovery' after blood virus

The Trail Blazers say LaMarcus Aldridge is fine after a scary incident surfaced during his rehabilitation from hip surgery.

Last Saturday, while recovering from May surgery, Aldridge was hospitalized in Dallas for two days after encountering what he described as a blood virus. The Blazers were aware of the incident and team doctor Tom Reis was in close contact with doctors throughout the ordeal.

Aldridge, who revealed the situation on his blog on the Blazers' team website, is recovering at his home in Dallas. The team expects him to have a full recovery and be fully healed for training camp.

"LA is on the road to recovery and we are confident that he'll be just fine," a Blazers spokesperson said.
